Details of Disappearance and Psychic Results (login to view) (login to view)

Ahtonen was a patient at Newberry Regional Mental Facility in 1980. His aunt was going to pick him up for a home visit on January 21, but was delayed by a snowstorm. When the storm subsided and she arrived at the facility, she discovered that Ahtonen had walked off the grounds during the blizzard and not returned. The staff at the facility realized he was missing at 4:00 p.m. when they were supposed to give him his medication, but they didn't notify police until 7:30 p.m. He has never been heard from again. Temperatures in the area dropped to 11 degrees that night.

Since 2006 I have personally worked over 1,000 missing person cases and have
literally spent thousands of hours of my own time trying to help find missing
people, especially missing children...and always for free.

The cases listed here are from my old site, unfortunately, after I got sick, I
lost my site and any backup copies I had, so these are direct links to
archive.org's Wayback Machine. In time I will transfer these old cases to my new
site. I've had a pretty good track record in helping to locate loved ones, and
I'm always willing to help in new cases as well. To view all my past
